Sorry for the crappy pics, i've just "inherited this" in lieu of a debt, however knowing nothing about boats at all i have no clue what it is.

Previous owner had a penchant for medallions?

The outboard will be worth something, but I have no idea about the 'boat' it's connected to. I'm a sticks and rags sailor, but I'm sure someone will be able to help you out in a mo!

It's a speed boat!!

Sorry, couldn't resist. Those blurry numbers in the first picture may give you a clue as to the spec of the speedboat. Try them in Google and see what it brings up.

What blurry numbers are you referring to? Unless you mean the silver blobs on the rear quarters, which are shown in a later pic as "wass up!!!!"

I only got the first two pictures when I originally looked. Can clearly see in the other pictures what it says.

Good luck with the search.

Found it! It's a Dateline Bounty, just as well the debt was only £500 biggrin

Still i'm going to chuck a few quid at it and have fun with it in the summer, as i live in Poole it would be rude not to smile

Yep, looks like one of them. I have to say I've never heard of one before.

Those old Merc 100's like a good supply of fuel, so think about a fuel pump and carb rebuild kit if it's been sitting.
